The arrangement did not establish a foothold in the repertoire, and the parts disappeared, leaving only Stein’s annotated copy of the full orchestral score. Only in 1990 was it reconstructed. The work suits its distilled medium well, as its original orchestration is on the light side. Douglas Boyd and the Manchester Camerata make a fine case for its preservation as a curiosity. If sometimes it comes close to sounding like Viennese cafe music, there are passages of glistening colours.
